Might Be Time To Look To Next Year

if Montreal honestly wanted an offensive prospect they would've taken Benson or Leonard or even gambled on Michkov. Not saying I'm 100% happy with the pick, but I vibe with the formula of;

Defense+Goaltending takes longer so build that first
Then draft offensive talent.

If offense only doesn't work(Edm, Tml) then I'd be happier sticking around for proper building.

So this is a hard no from Montreal

I agree, kinda why I was trying. Sabres have a ton of Good Forward prospects, we need that TOP 4 RD, and Reinbacher definitely has that potential and more.

I actually believe the Habs think he has top pairing potential similar to a Hedman type guy in their eyes. Their cupboard of high end RD isn't great either. If they're selling defense, I've gotta think it's left handed guys. A surprising amount of talent there. Love and hate what Bergevin did there lmao.

I also weirdly strongly think Kent Hughes likes the"sell players for picks then flip those picks for prospects/projects" model. Ie; Dach, Newhook

2 projects in 2 years might just be a trend...

Savoie > Reinbacher. Not saying I wouldn't like Reinbacher

I don't agree there, RD with Top pairing potential don't grow on Trees. I think it's close, basically added the 3rd to entice a bit more. Doubt Montreal would even do this.
